Description
A distillery bottling of Strathisla, aged 10 year old and bottled at 43%. Established in 1786 as the Milltown distillery in Keith, in the heart of Speyside, Strathisla is the oldest working distillery in the Highlands. Strathisla is the fruity heart of Chivas Regal, owned by Chivas Brothers since 1950.
It was drawn off the distillery's short copper stills, for a fruity, honeyed spirit with real weight. Ex-Bourbon casks held the spirit, soft oak that lets the fruit lead. Younger here, it keeps a creamy, orchard fruit freshness over light honey. The slow loss of the angel's share concentrates the honeyed, fruity core over time. Scarce as an official bottling, Strathisla was long bottled mainly by Gordon and MacPhail. The distillery has stood by the Isla since the reign of George III. Short copper pot stills give the rich, full bodied make the distillery is known for. Keith is one of Speyside's old whisky towns, north of the Cairngorms.
Bottled at 43%, it is rounded. A gentle vanilla and cream from the wood, with pear, honey and a buttery malt. The texture is rich and creamy, the fruit lifted by honey. The finish runs rich, nutty and warm. This is a rich, honeyed Speyside single malt.
